[quote Pharticus]. . .that reservoir exists for the farmers - fishing is merely a perk we get to enjoy.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Exactly; and this is true for the vast majority of the large water bodies in Utah. Except for the community ponds, I know of no reservoir that was designed and built that had fishing as the prime reason for establishing it. Fishing is a side benefit in just about every case.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Be that as it may, I think Newton is a poor choice for tiger muskies due to its small size. I don't ever fish Newton on the soft deck, so from an ice fishing standpoint and flavor qualities, I'd favor perch, crappie, and tiger trout if they can co-exist successfully in the same small pond.[/#800000][/font]
